Special event history

From time to time through each year Turbine presents us with special events on the servers within the game. This page lists the details of each event, whether they are major or minor events, here they all are:

The DDO "anniversary" can be interpreted in several different ways, depending what exactly is meant. "Officially" (if not technically), the DDO Anniversary is considered to fall on February 28. The annual Anniversary Event appears somewhere loosely around that time (see quote, below).

DDO's initial launch was February 23, 2006, though it was the pre-purchase headstarter.

"The formal date of the anniversary was determined to be February 28th, in that that was the day people could buy the boxes on store shelves. Technically, the game had a bit of a rolling start for several days leading up to it, with the head start on February 26th. (The DDO staff) generally consider the anniversary patch to be relatively on time if it's released sometime between late February and early March."

Module 6 Patch 2: Second Anniversary: To celebrate the second anniversary of Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach, all existing characters created before February 28, 2008 have received an anniversary gift in their inventory. Note: The Djinni of the birthday cake is very mischievous. We advise all players to pay close attention to the choices he offers, as he may try to trick you. Enjoy!

All characters created prior to February 18, 2010 will receive Tokens of the Traveler that can be used to participate in the Traveler's Scavenger Hunt.

Free player characters will receive 5 tokens

All characters created prior to February 18, 2010 - regardless of account type - will receive a Blessing of the Traveler. This special item can be redeemed after a successful run of the scavenger hunt for rare prizes! Speak with the NPC Taj in the Marketplace after completing your egg hunt to redeem your Blessing. If you miss the event or do not wish to play the scavenger hunt, Taj will also offer you a somewhat less exciting prize in exchange for your Blessing at any time.

Olladra, the goddess of Feast and Fortune, can be both playful and fickle. As tribute to this mercurial goddess, the Coin Lords will be celebrating the Festival of Olladra on 4 Lharvion* by giving away several Intimidating Daggers of Paralyzing Acid! This exclusive event item also has a lower tiered version called the Intimidating Dagger of Acid. The Coin Lords have a limited number of both daggers and will be giving them to a lucky few.
